HBS '26 | Ex-Bain, Retail & Sustainability | International Applicant
Born and raised in Hong Kong, I’m currently pursuing my MBA at Harvard Business School (Class of 2026) after three years at Bain & Company and completing my undergraduate education at Wharton (Class of 2020). Having personally navigated the challenging process of applying to top business schools from abroad, I’m deeply committed to helping you craft your unique story, overcome hurdles, and land your dream MBA offer. As the only admit from Hong Kong in the HBS Class of 2026, I know what it takes to make your application stand out. My background spans consulting, entrepreneurship (experience at two Series C startups), retail (Bain specialization), and social impact/sustainability (the foundation of my HBS application story). If your aspirations align with any of these areas, let’s connect—I’d love to help turn your vision into reality!
